Example 2: Blood glucose above target range and no active insulin
The next day, Michael wakes up before school. Before eating the same breakfast, he tests his blood
glucose with his Paradigm Link meter and finds it to be 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L), which is above his
High BG target of 120 mg dL (6.7 mmol/L). His blood glucose reading is automatically sent to his pump.
When prompted by the Bolus Wizard feature, he enters his carbohydrate amount of 60 grams in the
ENTER FOOD screen. Based on his settings, the pump will suggest that he take 6.0 units of insulin.
Example 3: Blood glucose below target range and no active insulin
On another morning, Michael sits down before eating the same breakfast. He tests his blood glucose with
his Paradigm Link meter and finds it at 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L), which is below his Low BG target of 90
mg/dL (5.0 mmol/L). His reading is automatically sent to his pump.
When prompted by the Bolus Wizard feature, he enters his carbohydrate amount of 60 grams in the
ENTER FOOD screen. Based on his settings, the pump will suggest that he only take 3.5 unit of insulin.
